      Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm running a 2100 I bought in February or March which I've updated and is the latest stable version (22.01) as of this writing; clicking the red circled question mark in the following pfSense pages results in going to the pfSense book's index page instead of where appropriate (after the redirection from the firewall's help.php, I mean):

      System / Setup Wizard - instead of here. Incidentally, the tip about the setup wizard being optional could be modified to specify that it's optional only after the first time it's run at installation, as is the case if I recall correctly.
      Status / Dashboard - instead of here.
      Firewall / pfBlockerNG (running devel version) - instead of here seeing as there's no page for the devel version I guess? Or is this link and/or its contents something the developer of pfBlockerNG-devel has to provide?

      I'd also appreciate it if these go to the switch-overview.html page specific to the model in question, for example (or if this is also available in the free version, figure something out that allows it to go to the appropriate switch overview page in that case too), seeing as they don't have dedicated pages to themselves as far as I can tell:
      Interfaces / Switch / System
      Interfaces / Switch / Ports
      Interfaces / Switch / VLANs
      (I wouldn't mind a more in-depth explanation of the workings of the Members column of "Interfaces / Switch / VLANs," by the way, instead of just a straight-forward "how-to", though that's appreciated!)

      Lastly:
      System / Update / System Update - points here instead of here.
      System / User Mananger / Settings - points here instead of here.

      Thanks!

        @someone464 I suggest creating an entry at redmine.pfsense.org.

        I don't know how much is unique to each model which would answer the question about model-specific info. If that was available that would be handy. I suspect the CE version doesn't have switch support? Not sure how one would get that sort of hardware "into" a PC.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          To add to my previous original post (it's not letting me edit it anymore because something is identifying it as spam):

          Firewall / pfBlockerNG (running devel version) - instead of here seeing as there's no page for the devel version I guess? Or is this link and/or its contents something the developer of pfBlockerNG-devel has to provide?

            @someone464 The pfBlocker docs are way out of date unfortunately. The maintainer has a Patreon site at http://pfblockerng.com/. I believe is also on Reddit, in addition to (less commonly now) this forum.
